Medical Tourism: Theoretical Considerations
Journal Title: Studia Periegetica - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Medical tourism is no longer perceived as just a new socio-economic trend. Nowadays, various needs and reasons for travelling for health purposes can be realised in many different forms of tourism – to which the author draws attention by attempting to systematize the terminology of medical tourism. Too often this term is used synonymously with such concepts as health tourism, wellness tourism, and sanatorium tourism.
